![]() Last week Xine posted Latin phrases to her t13 and I loved the idea so I asked her if I could snag it and she graciously gave me permission. There are so many great ones that I’m having trouble narrowing my list down. I have well over 100 phrases and quotes that either makes me laugh or think and sometimes both. So I’ve been struggling with do I want to laugh or think this week…Since it’s a holiday weekend and all how about we laugh! And since there are so many I may be able to do Latin T13s the rest of the month! The funniest favorite Latin Quotes for Donica Covey: Here we go: 1. Suntne vacci laeti - Are your cows happy? 2. Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem - In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags 3. Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita - Life is too short to dance with ugly men 4. Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam - I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head 5. Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt - When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults 6. Estne tibi forte magna feles fulva et planissima? - Do you by chance happen to own a large, yellowish, very flat cat? 7. Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre? - Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me? 8. Isto pensitaris? - You get paid for this crap? 9. Mater tua criceta fuit, et pater tuo redoluit bacarum sambucus - Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries 10. Noli me voca, ego te vocabo - Don't call me. I'll call you 11. Noli simul flare sobereque - Don't whistle and drink at the same time 12. Non plaudite. Modo pecuniam jacite - Don't applaud. Just throw money 13. Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari? - How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Did You at least smile? Hope so! See you all next time! Huggles, Donica The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged!

Becka,
Funny you should say that. Next week's list is indeed insults. Are you psychic? (Or is that sick? Can't remmeber...) HEHEHE
Very cute!
#1---useful in South Dakota.
Awesome list!
Clever list Donica, I'd love to actually say #1 to somebody. They'd think I was crazy!
Those are great, Donica!
I am going to have to use that windswept crag one... maybe I'll even find such a thing to use as a visual aid!
Happy TT.
